Yo, it's been a minute, but I'm back with a CD Review, I actually won this jawn in a contest by Thi'sl, in which I had to guess the correct release date. Anywho, this cd is FIRE, it shows the real side of street life and the consequences of it if you don't turn from your ways to the Lord Jesus Christ. The album deals with a lot of issues, from Crack, to Urban Missions, to growing up without a father, to liveing the "fast-life", it's all here, and presented in a gritty yet biblical world view. This album has had crossover appeal, even reaching number 1 on the iTunes Hip Hop/Rap Charts by the end of the week it was released.

It is now availiable worldwide on iTunes, and @ amazon.com

I rate an 8/10

Summer Music

Well, so far, the Christian Hip-Hop scene has seen a number of wonderful releases, such as Tedashii's Identity Crisis, and Hazakim's Theophanies, and it promises to get better as relases from Da' T.R.U.T.H., Everyday Process, and R-Swift approach.

The Goal of this Christ Centered Hip Hop, is that God's heart be communicated prompting change in the attitudes, beliefs, and actions of all people, believers and non-believers.

Keep making God's Music!!!!!!!!!

Da' T.R.U.T.H. THE BIG PICTURE TRAILER

On My Mind

Death, it's a word most avoid discussing, and tend not to think about. It is the end. the end of life as we know it. Most believe in some sort of afterlife, in which the deceased is rewarded for their deeds. Some even believe that death is the complete end and that nothing happens after death.

I believe that their is an after-life after the grave, but you are not rewarded for deeds, but by faith. Faith in what, FAITH in the Lord and Savior of the World, Jesus Christ. Those who refuse or fail to place their faith in Jesus will go to Hell, this is not a fate I wish on anyone. I don't wish ill toward anyone, but it is a reality, the Bible, the Word of God spells this out for us.

I pray that the deaths of Michael Jackson, Farrah Fawcett, Ed McMahon, and others awaken you to the urgent decision that needs to be made.

Christ said those who spare their lives will lose it, those who lose their lives shall save it. Choosing Christ definitely means a sacrifice, some harder then others. You might have to take a stand against things loved one's do. You might have to distance yourself from some things and people. But, it's definitely worth it to serve Christ, the Godman, who died to free you from slavery to sin.

It's either Christ or the world, there is no middle ground, gray area, fence sitting, or indecision. Make a decision today, I pray you make the right one.

Encouragement

It's quite often that we do things in life, that we want recognition for, but never get, but there are also times we do things that we might not see as being worthy of recognition. A few weeks ago, a friend told me " I admire you for how you've stepped out on your faith". This was probably one of the few times that I've gotten a compliment or praise without having tried to. It really touched me, It first of all, showed me that I was growing in the grace of Jesus Christ, and that I was letting Him and His Spirit operate in me. Secondly, it showed me that people DO notice the little things that you do. Finally, it showed me that I was correct in choosing to follow Jesus with my life. All Glory and Praise to my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

Thought

It's been a while since I've posted some of my thoughts on this here blog. lol

First, I want to Thank God for continued and sustained life. I also want to thank Him for just being Himself, which is everything at all times. I've been growing in Christ and stepping out on faith a little more than I used to, and he's never let me down, no matter how small or big the circumstance. There for my thought is simple...I pray that if you believe in Christ as Lord and Savior, and as the propitiation for the sins of the world, that you begin to trust Him with everything, and live a life pleasing to the Father. If you are not yet a believer, I pray that your eyes be opened and your heart tugged by God's grace and mercy.

May His Peace be with you and His Grace abound you

Feeling Good: Glory to Yahweh

A few days ago, I was upset because of a secret held from me by some friends, but ALL glory goes to God that now I can rest easy and peacefully. I prayed that God would give me the patience and grace to stil be courteous when my feelings were hurt, and He showed up and showed out. He allowed me to forgive them without hesitation. It feels great to not carry grudges. God can do the same for you too, if you ask Christ to give you peace and understanding, he will. Accept Christ today, it WILL change your life!

DON'T SELL YOUR BIRTHRIGHT

Esau, Jacob, and the Birthright
Genesis 25:30-34

30. And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray thee, with that same red pottage; for I am faint: therefore was his name called Edom.

31. And Jacob said, Sell me this day your birthright.

32. And Esau asid, Behold, I am at the point to die: and what profit shall this do to me?

33. And Jacob said, Swear to me this day; and he sware unto him: and he sold his birthright unto Jacob.

34.Then Jacob gave Esau bread and pottage of lentiles, and he did eat and drink, and rose up, and went his way: thus Esau despised his birthright.

You are probably wondering, what does this have to do with me. We as born-again Christians, have been given a birthright from God the father. Our birthright is eternal life in heaven and our holiness. Holiness is to be set apart, to be different from the world. Christ said "Be thou holy, because I am holy." All we have to do is live a godly and just life while we are on earth, our temporary home. 

However, every time we submit to our fleshly desires, ie. sex, drugs, parties, music etc., we are in a sense selling our birthright by allowing people to lump us with the people of the world, that's why people are turned off by the Word of God, because the people who are in the church act exactly the same as the people who aren't in the church.

So I charge and challenge you, my brothers and sisters in Christ, to strive to live Christ-like, ask yourself before you do anything, "Would Jesus (fill in the blank)?" more often the answer is NO!!!!!

God is not trying to cramp your style or keep you from having fun, He's trying to guard you from becoming a slave to sin. That's why when people do drugs, drink or have sex, it often becomes a habit. Today's society would call that an addiction, or a disease. I agree with that, but it is an addiction or disease of sin, and Dr. God has the only prescription, acceptance of Jesus Christ as your savior and submission of your life to Him.

May God bless and keep you through these trying and difficult times.

"Life ain't what it seems, but seems to appeal, to our appetite so just for a single meal
we sell our birthrights, now that's senseless like, trading in your motorcyle for a dirtbike
earth's aight but turn on a searchlight, and you'll notice that a new pair of Jordan's are some hurt nikes"
- Da' T.R.U.T.H. "This Is For You"

R-Swift Featuring Iz-Real- Lifetime

Shai Linne's Storiez

Is on of THE BEST ABLUMS I've heard in a long time.

If you are a fan of hip-hop, this is a very original, thought provoking album. It's very challenging for the believer, and each lyric is beautifully constructed by this master wordsmith, all for the glory of Yahweh, the God of Israel.

I give the album 8.5/10
